On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don't want them to, they exist. If you're gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please.

And now onto my specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: Popslash, Brian/Nick

I'd be good with anything, but I'm really feeling AUs right now.

I really do mean anything when it comes to these two, but if you're looking for any ideas, and since I mentioned AUs, here are a few of my favorites: office/workplace AU, college or high school AU, space AU.

Requested Fandom #2: Big Bang, Jiyong "G-Dragon"/Youngbae "Taeyang"Oh my, anything! Maybe a look at their relationship through the years, starting with their trainee days and going to present day?

This is a repeat request from last year, and nothing has changed about it. I love these two so much! One of my few ships I have where anything would go and I'd be happy. I love the idea that they've known each other and been friends since they were kids. I also love the idea of friendships such as that becoming more. So naturally, I ideally want to put one and one together and having their friendship become something more is something I really wanna do.

I picked up Harvest Moon: Animal Parade as a bit of a Christmas present to myself after seeing an amazing Let's Play of it. I knew from the get go I was going to woo and marry Chase, but didn't realize I'd fall for him so hard, and ship Chase with the player character so hard. One of the things I love about Chase is that he's the bad boy that you slowly break down and tame (which is also why I like Gray from 64/BtN/FoMT/MFoMT), but his taming is a direct result of the player character's actions. What if Chase did it on his own? I don't care which character teaches him this lesson.

(Also, I know the banner isn't from AP, I didn't feel like making a whole new one.)

Requested Fandom #4: Firefly, Kaylee/InaraKaylee would like Inara's... services. Or does she?

I'm one of those shippers (or at least, I feel like it anyway), and I was pointing at my screen and making embarrassing noises when I saw Inara braiding Kaylee's hair. I'd like to see Kaylee turning to Inara for, well, you know. But if Kaylee/Inara or femslash or smut isn't your thing, then I'm okay with Kaylee going in and going as far as you're comfortable with.

First of all, thank you so much for writing a story just for me! It's pretty awesome, given the nature of this fest.

My generalities are pretty consistent.

What I Likekid!fic (as in, the characters have kids, not the character are kids - toddler age is perfect), crushes/beginning of relationship (the concept of the feelings coming to fruition and both parties going, "WTF is going on? Why am I acting this way around him/her?" is one of my favorite fandom tropes), smut is always good, flirting.

What I Don't LikeIncest, bestiality and molestation are my only three sexual squicks, fandom has desensitized me to everything else. Character bashing. Yes, I'm generally a slasher but that doesn't mean I hate the female (or in the case of a femslash ship, male) characters (or, if I do, it's for reasons unrelated to "I ship his/her love interest with his/her best (fe)male friend and s/he gets in the way of the gay sex"). On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don't want them to, they exist. If you're gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please.

And now onto my specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: Ben 10, Gwen and JulieI'd love to see them fighting some aliens without Ben or Kevin's help.

Gwen and Julie don't get enough love in the fandom. It's rare to see them shown as strong characters in their own right (especially in canon). Ben and Kevin always have to come in and "save the day." But, what if the girls don't need to be saved? I'd love something showing that.

Requested Fandom #2: Kaleido Star, Sora and LaylaI loved their dynamic and bonding while training for The Legendary Great Maneuver, and would love to see that bond outside of training.

What I loved about the Sora and Layla character dynamic is that it goes from Layla first resenting, almost hating Sora, to becoming her partner and mentor. That second relationship isn't shown much outside of their work, and I'd like to assume they still have that same dynamic in their personal life.

Holly is, by far, one of my favorite characters in all of fiction (I mean, hell, my boyfriend told me she reminds him of me). I'd love anything about her, anything. What did she do before coming to Eureka? What did she do after leaving Eureka? What did she and Fargo do in their spare time? If none of these strike your fancy, anything you can think of will work too!

I know they briefly reunited in April of last year at some function, but maybe something a little more private would be cool. Like, they meet up for lunch one day, or run into each other at a club and have some drinks together to catch up. Or, even, they decide to do something more professional, like collaborating on a song?

Miwako was almost obsessed with Yukari. Though Yukari was the muse of the whole group, it seems like Miwako liked her just a little bit more than everyone else (with the exception of George). I can see her designing a one of a kind outfit for her favorite muse.

Kim is by far my favorite female character in this series (isn't she almost everyone's?). Her cynicism makes her, but what caused her cynicism? Or, a story set around the same time as the The Wonderful World of Kim Pine mini-comic, with more things her horrible ex-roommates did to her (and maybe how she gets back at them).

First of all, thank you so much for writing a story just for me! It's pretty awesome, given the nature of this fest.

My generalities really didn't change between last year and this year.

What I Likekid!fic (as in, the characters have kids, not the character are kids - toddler age is perfect), crushes/beginning of relationship (the concept of the feelings coming to fruition and both parties going, "WTF is going on?

On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don't want them to, they exist. If you're gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please.

And now onto my specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: Eureka, Fargo/HollyThese two are the ultimate geeky couple, and my love for them knows no bounds. A fic showing off their geekyness would be awesome!

THESE TWO! My boyfriend introduced me to Fargo/Holly by telling me they reminded him of us, and me, being a shipper, was addicted. They are the perfect geeky couple and just, gah! They play D&D, for Pete's sake! And Holly is played by the one of the ultimate geek girls, Felicia Day (who I now adore). I love them, they love each other, and a fic of their love would be, well, love. (And surprisingly, "love" still looks like a word.)

Requested Fandom #2: w-inds., Keita/RyoheiSomething set during the MLT tour, or maybe a soccer AU?

Oh look, it's a year that's divisible by two, so it's time for me to request w-inds. fic. Anything you come up with will make my day. These two are so cute it hurts.

I've recently decided to finish what I started and actually watch these series (I was originally watching Alien Force as it aired, and had to stop), and I was reminded what I loved about it the first time. Ben is a badass, Kevin is a badass, and well... slash goggles go on when it comes to Ben and Kevin. But! This prompt doesn't have to be all about the slash. They are still two teenaged boys with some pretty badass cars, so this could go anywhere.

Requested Fandom #4: Men in Black, Jay/KayThe day Kay recruited Jay wasn't the first time they met, far from it, Jay just doesn't realize it because he was neurolyzed every other time.

So, I watched MIB3 recently, and after <spoiler>it was revealed the General's son that shows up toward the end of the movie was baby!Jay</spoiler>, this plot bunny came to rest inside my head and likes the food, or something. It won't go away. This doesn't have to be inherently slashy, but if it goes that way I won't be upset.

First off, thank you for making a vid just for me! I'm sure it'll be awesome!

I have a few general likes that don't seem to change, so we'll start with those:

What I Likekid!fic/art/vids (as in, the characters have kids, not the character are kids - toddler age is perfect, though this doesn't work well in vids. Sad.), crushes/beginning of relationship (the concept of the feelings coming to fruition and both parties going, "WTF is going on? Why am I acting this way around him/her?" is one of my favorite fandom tropes), smut is always good, flirting.What I Don't LikeIncest, bestiality and molestation are my only three sexual squicks, fandom has desensitized me to everything else.

On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don't want them to, they exist. If you're gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please.

And now, specifics:

Requested Fandom #1: AlphasAnything the vidder desires.An ensemble vid of the cast being their awesome selves and showing off their skills.

This show is a new fandom for me, and I've been drawn to how awesome the cast is. I can't get enough of them, and I want their awesome, individually and together, showcased.

I've recently decided to finish what I started and actually watch these series (I was originally watching Alien Force as it aired, and had to stop), and I was reminded what I loved about it the first time. Ben is a badass, Kevin is a badass, Gwen is HBIC, and well... slash goggles go on when it comes to Ben and Kevin. Anyhow, I promise it's not all about the slash goggles (see again the part about everyone being badasses).

Requested Fandom #3: EntourageAnything the vidder desires.My heart belongs to Vince/Eric, but a vid showing how awesome the cast is would be awesome too!

Entourage is an ideal fandom for me: a great cast, an engaging plot, HoYay, and pseudo-RPF! Like I mentioned, I love Vince/Eric (they hit all my OTP buttons!), but I can see how that wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. Showing off everyone doing what they do best (which sometimes seems to be partying, drinking, and getting high) would be just as awesome for me.

THESE TWO! My boyfriend introduced me to Fargo/Holly by telling me they reminded him of us, and me, being a shipper, was addicted. They are the perfect geeky couple and just, gah! They play D&D, for Pete's sake! And Holly is played by the one of the ultimate geek girls, Felicia Day (who I now adore). I love them, they love each other, and a vid of their love would be, well, love. (And surprisingly, "love" still looks like a word.)

Requested Fandom #5: Never Let Me Go (Safety)Anything the vidder desires.An ensemble vid of the main three, or something Kathy/Tommy/Ruth

This movie, my heart. So many tears. Now, admittedly, my request seems a little redundant, but what I was hoping to go for a "I want the main three, but you don't have to make it shippy if you don't want to" vibe, since it could go either way. I just want to see something showcasing how close the three are (after all, <spoiler>Ruth totally stabbed Kathy in the back as a kid by asking Tommy out before Kathy could</spoiler>, and Kathy still gave her a second chance. That is love of some sort.

Of the fandoms I currently participate in, this one is my oldest. My love for these two date back all the way to my early teens (12 years and still going strong), and they're the entire reason every other one of my ships is of the "best friends who could be more" variety. They have shaped my entire fannish experience and I love them. Anything, and I mean anything, that you could potentially vid for these two would make my life.

Requested Fandom #7: The SimsAnything the vidder desires.Something Pascal/Nervous would be ideal, but anything showing off the Maxis premades would be love!

Well, this is an oddball request, and it was one I waffled on. I know what you're thinking, "How could I even vid for this?" But, game play footage, cut scenes, whatever you want. As I mentioned, I ship Pascal/Nervous (I play TS2 primarily, with dabbles in TS3 and TS1, though the original doesn't leave much in the way of storytelling), but all of the premades who don't get enough love in favor of people making their own Sims.

Requested Fandom #8: Zoolander (Safety)Anything the vidder desires.Something Derek/Hansel, or else something with Derek and Hansel being their lovable selves.

This is the fandom I keep getting reminded I love when holiday exchange time rolls around, as it gets no love otherwise. I almost wanna tell you to remind me why I love this cracktastic, silly, funny little movie, but... oh hell. Remind me why I love this cracktastic, silly, funny little movie.

Fandom of my heart! My OTP! I love these two more than life itself, and would love anything and everything with these two. Honestly, the prompt was just a stepping stone. Anything you want to do is fine with me.

I also love the idea of friendships such as that becoming more. So naturally, I ideally want to put one and one together and having their friendship become something more is something I really wanna do.

Requested Fandom #2: The Social Network, Mark/Eduardo

My biggest request is a happy ending. Fix-it fic, AU where Eduardo is never cut out, AU not involving Facebook at all, I don't care. Just want them to be happy.

Ah, the song of every Mark/Eduardo shipper ever. So yes, I'm asking for pretty much every Mark/Eduardo fic ever written so why am I even bothering with requesting? Because I'd love to see your take on it, Prime Time Player. There are a multitude of ways fix it fic can work, and I wanna see how you make it work.

I love these two more than I should, really. And they don't get nearly the amount of love they should.

Requested Fandom #4: Harvest Moon, Any.I'd really love some Jack/Popuri or Claire/Gray, but Jack/Gray or Claire/Popuri would be awesome too!

I vastly prefer the Back to Nature/Friends of Mineral Town/More Friends of Mineral Town canon to the original/Harvest Moon 64 canon. Probably because BtN was the first Harvest Moon game I played that wasn't on a console (so the first one I played with an actual canon, those old Game Boy games didn't cut it lol.), so the other canon relationships throw me off. Anyway. As you can probably guess from my pairing requests, I usually (read: almost always) marry Popuri in BtN/FoMT and Gray in MFoMT. However, the slash fangirl in me tends to sneak up from time to time, hence why I also wouldn't mind Jack/Gray or Claire/Popuri.

First of all, thank you so much for writing a story just for me! It's pretty awesome, given the nature of this fest.

And now onto my specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: Entourage, Vince/EricI would love a fic where these two finally realize the reason they are totally co-dependent on each other (which would be, well, that they're in love with each other.)

I seriously just picked this series up earlier this year, and I've been trying to find the time to mainline it (I've gotten through season 1 and part of season 2). Yet, despite not being all the way through the series, I have fallen in love with it, for quite a few reasons:

1. It's borderline RPF not only because we're writing about actors in Hollywood living their lives in Hollywood, this is what happens when Mark Wahlberg writes a self-insert fic and changes the names.2. As you can judge from my request: VINCE/ERIC. Okay, seriously. These two. They are so MFEO that HBO ships them. So I would love where all the subtext (so much subtext, thick like a fog!) comes to a head and we get them falling for each other.

Requested Fandom #2: Coffee Prince, Eun Chan/Han GyeolOkay, I would be over the moon if you wrote Eun Chan/Han Gyeol with genderswapped Eun Chan, but I understand that's not everyone's cuppa, so playing them straight (no pun intended) would be fine with me too.

Okay, one of the things that I love love love about this series is the pseudo-canon slash. My dream fic would involve the pseudo-slash become straight up slash with a male!Eun Chan. HOWEVER, I realize that genderswap is one of those things that you either love with every fiber of your being or loathe with the fire of a thousand suns, so by all means, you don't have to go for the genderswap/slash. Other possible plot bunny, if you'd like: Han Gyeol being amazed by (and later encouraging) Eun Chan to be less tomboyish and more girly.

Requested Fandom #3: Kisarazu Cat's Eye, Kohei "Bussan"/Futoshi "Bambi"I keep trying for these two, on the off chance there is someone else in the world who has seen this drama writing. I'll take ANYTHING at this point.

And I mean it. I haven't requested these two since my first Yuletide, because I had given up on them for the most part, but this year I'm trying again. I'm even repeating what I had said that year: I meant when I said fic for this fandom is few and far between. But I'll get specific just for you. AU, please please! Particularly something where <spoiler>Bussan isn't dead, maybe not even sick</spoiler>, cause if you try to write canon, well you're pretty limited to the canon timeline, and that's no fun. Including baseball is almost required, because of the canon.

Let's face it: The ending to this series sucked, and needs to be ignored and rewritten. Nakaji got no redemption as a character, and Linda? Well... he got the worst ending ever. You don't even have to have them end up together (though doing so would be a huge bonus), but just something where Nakaji isn't a total pretentious douchebag and Linda gets treated as somewhat human would be awesome and I would love you for it.

First of all, thank you so much for writing a story just for me! It's pretty awesome, given the nature of this fest.

I'm good with canon fics too.

And now onto my specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: w-inds., Keita/RyoheiI love these two so much! Anything you want to write is awesome!

Okay, so these two are under loved, both in general and in w-inds. fandom (which, while pretty much dead in the fanfic respect, was mostly RyoRyu back in the day). Not only do they have the "being bandmates" thing, they have the soccer thing they both love (and if you want to make an AU where they're soccer players, that'd be cool too! My request for them two years ago was for a soccer AU).

This is the exact same request I made last year, but I really wanna see it! I think drunk!Ben would be totally awesome (and allows for them to be aged to adults). I chose 21 because I assume the show takes place in the United States (if you find information that says otherwise, go ahead and change the ages.) I can see Kevin totally trying to use the situation to his advantage, and failing because the "good guy" in him takes over. Hangover nursing optional but would be loved!

Requested Fandom #3: Scott Pilgrim (comic!verse), Scott/WallaceWallace comes to terms with a lot of things, one of them being Scott Pilgrim.

I am one of those who screams, "THEY SHARE A BED!!! HELLO!!!" *cough* Anyway, I can see all of that coming to a head, and Wallace attempting to sleep with Scott. You can make this one sided and have Scott reject it, or you can go ahead and write them hooking up.

Requested Fandom #4: Kaleido Star, Sora/LaylaWe're dealing with two very flexible women here. Take that as you will.

I know how I'd take that, but... *cough* This could be anything. A training session, a who's the most flexible contest, femslash, pre-femslash, gen. I don't care.

General things about my preferences (unfortunately copied from, well, all my other Dear Writer letters this year, but it stays the same across the board):

What I Likekid!fic (as in, the characters have kids, not the character are kids - toddler age is perfect), crushes/beginning of relationship (the concept of the feelings coming to fruition and both parties going, "WTF is going on? Why am I acting this way around him/her?" is one of my favorite fandom tropes), smut is always good, flirting.

What I Don't LikeIncest, bestiality and molestation are my only three sexual squicks, fandom has desensitized me to everything else. Character bashing. Yes, I'm generally a slasher but that doesn't mean I hate the female characters (or, if I do, it's for reasons unrelated to "I ship her love interest with her best male friends and she gets in the way of the gay sex"). On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don't want them to, they exist. If you're gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please. I also don't like character death (unless it's a person that has died IRL).

Popslash specific likes:Europe era! (Goes along with my crush/start of relationship trope I like). Tour based fics (cramming two guys into one bus? LOVE!).

Backstreet Boys, Brian/NickOMG, again with the TIU tour based fic, and the "Bye Bye Love" moment (HI! I SAW IT FINALLY AND IT WAS AWESOME). But honestly, 1000+ words of them being awesome, and coupley, and whatever and I'll be golden.

Crossover, Nick/LanceI picked these two on a whim two or three years ago, but this year I have really fallen for them, and picked them again because of that (or I might have started a Nick/Lance RP line because of picking them, and fell in love that way. Something like that). They might be my crossover OTP now, to the point that again... if you go this route I could honestly care less what you write me.

Is it really that time again? Man, how time flies! I am super excited to be doing this a second time, and hope my requests don't scare you off!

Alright, here we go!

Set List Fandoms:

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

I admit, I haven't been keeping up on this fandom as much as I should (I am, like, 180 episodes behind, and the anime ends next week. Maybe now that there's a finite number of episodes I'll pick it back up? Maybe.) But I still love Dino, and anything involving him and his dorky awesomeness is okay by me! (Bonus points for Tsu-kun ;D)

Music RPF

Backstreet BoysI am one of the biggest Brian/Nick shippers I know. Seriously, give me these two and I'll be happy as a clam. :D If you're not the shipping type, then group shots, or Nick, are fine too.

Big BangGD, GD, baby baby. I am a G-Dragon fangirl and not shy about it. I also ship GDYB. So GD alone or GDYB is awesome!

w-inds.I am 100% formulaic with these music RPF requests, because once again it follows the "OMG I totally ship person A/person B, but person A by himself is totally cool too!" where in this case person A is Keita and person B is Ryohei.

Reaper

Aww I miss this show so much! I will take anything you can give me. I am a Sam/Sock shipper, but don't expect that I'm expecting a shippy piece. I'll take the boys being awesome, the Devil being badass, or anything.

Scott Pilgrim

Two words: WALLACE WELLS. He is by far my breakout favorite character. He is snarky, badass, and doesn't take shit from anyone. Bonus points if he is gaying things up with Scott (they share a bed, for Pete's sake!), but if Wallace is just being his snarky, badass self that's cool too.

I also like Kim. ... I have a thing for the snarky characters in this fandom, don't I? o_O

Wildcard Fandoms:

Ben 10

Bevin! I love me the Bevin. I don't like little!Ben/little!Kevin so much, but OTOH I love Ben 10,000 and Kevin 11,000. I'm also not 100% a smut kind of girl. I love it, sure. But cuddles and domesticity are awesome too!

Harvest Moon

My absolute favorite characters are Popuri, Gray (both from HM64/BtN/FoMT/MFoMT) and Carl (from Magical Melody), but I also love Nina (original flavor HM) and Mary (either the original, or the 64/BtN/FoMT/MFoMT versions)

Kaleido Star

I love Sora and Ken (and Sora/Ken), as well as Layla, Mia, Rosetta and Anna (basically, anyone from season 1 except the antagonists).

Of course, thank you in advance for making something just for me, and I am sure whatever you make for me will be awesome and I will love it to pieces. Please don't stress about it, it's all in good fun (and Lord knows I'll probably be doing more than enough stressing for the both of us!)

On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don't want them to, they exist. If you're gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please.

And now onto my specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: The Listener, Toby/OzI would love to see something where Toby uses his mind reading powers in order to figure out Oz has the hots for him.

This may just be me (misinterpreting canon or otherwise), but I'm sure Toby has wanted to use his mind reading powers for personal gain. (IDK... I would if I were him), so if you're okay with writing the slash, I would love this. But I understand some people aren't into that, so if not... writing something expanding on their friendship (canon seemed to kinda ignore it) would be wonderful too!

I think drunk!Ben would be totally awesome (and allows for them to be aged to adults). I chose 21 because I assume the show takes place in the United States (if you find information that says otherwise, go ahead and change the ages.) I can see Kevin totally trying to use the situation to his advantage, and failing because the "good guy" in him takes over. Hangover nursing optional but would be loved!

Requested Fandom #3: RPF - The Pussycat Dolls, Nicole/AshleyBackstage quickie? Hotel room? Tour bus? Any one of those would work. If smut's not your thing, then anything more than friendship/pre-slash is good!

This is a new fandom/ship for me, so I have so many plot bunnies. But I'm a weird one in that I actually don't like oral in my femslash smut if that's the only way they're getting each other off. It's totally cliche, imo. But as I said, I'm not all about the smut with these two. I'm also in love with the characters doing coupley things (going on dates, cuddling at home, etc.), especially in my RPF.

Requested Fandom #4: Kaleido Star, Sora/KenOMG het?! Heh. I've loved these two for a long time, maybe something set after the series where Sora comes back for Ken?

A rare het request from me! And I'll be completely honest... I've never seen the second season. (Though I am aware that season 2 totally sinks this ship... perhaps that's why I'm avoiding it? ;D). Anyway, it was pretty much canon that Ken liked Sora, and it wouldn't be much of a stretch for Sora to realize, once older, that she liked him too.

(Hey readers guess what! THIS IS THE LAST DEAR SANTA LETTER THIS YEAR!)

Okay, so it's probably way too late for this, and you've already started writing. But if you have not, here we go:

General things about my preferences (unfortunately copied from, well, all my other Dear Writer letters this year, but it stays the same across the board):

What I Likekid!fic (as in, the characters have kids, not the character are kids - toddler age is perfect), crushes/beginning of relationship (the concept of the feelings coming to fruition and both parties going, "WTF is going on? Why am I acting this way around him/her?" is one of my favorite fandom tropes), smut is always good, flirting.What I Don't LikeIncest, bestiality and molestation are my only three sexual squicks, fandom has desensitized me to everything else. Character bashing. Yes, I'm generally a slasher but that doesn't mean I hate the female characters (or, if I do, it's for reasons unrelated to "I ship her love interest with her best male friends and she gets in the way of the gay sex"). On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don't want them to, they exist. If you're gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please. I also don't like character death (unless it's a person that has died IRL).

Popslash specific likes:Europe era! (Goes along with my crush/start of relationship trope I like). Tour based fics (cramming two guys into one bus? LOVE!).Backstreet Boys, Brian/NickOkay, so, let's see... there has been a lot of new "canon" for BSB this year, so you have a lot to work with if you wanted to go that route. A little birdie told me that these two have a "moment" on their This Is Us tour (choreographed into a song, even!), so if you don't mind being spoiled (or have already seen the show) and want to work it in that'd be awesome. (I myself haven't seen it due to not wanting spoilerage.)

Crossover, Chris/AJA simpler request: So AJ mentioned in an interview that the "big BSB/*NSYNC" feud was based around the fact AJ dated Amanda Latona after Chris did, so something where they have to interact due to that (but it turns to something more) would be totally cool!

First off, I've gotta thank you, for more things than one. Obviously, thank you for writing a story just for me! Also, chances are very high you signed up after catching one of my pimp posts, so thank you for taking this plunge with me! It'll be fun, I promise!

My generalities are the same as they are for all my other exchanges, lol.

I'm good with canon fics too.

Specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: Popslash, Nick/Brian/AJBrian and Nick discover they need more love in their lives than each other.

Okay, if you were matched with be on this fandom, you probably know I'm a Brian/Nick girl. The sudden addition of AJ might surprise you, might not. Anyway, I'd love to see something where Brian and Nick are seemingly content in their coupledom, but realize they aren't and need something (or someone) to fulfill it. How this happens is up to you, of course. Smut a bonus but not required.

I can safely say it doesn't get much more OT3 than these guys. I can totally see them getting drunk after catching a soul and, well... the rest is up to you, lovely writer assigned to me (assuming you matched on this fandom).

First off, thank you so much for making a piece of artwork just for me, and don't be scared by the new name/face! (Isn't that the fun of challenges like this? :D)

Trust me, I am very easy to please, being a writer first and an (pseudo-)artist second.

I just wanted to elaborate on my requests, because I realized I didn't give you that much to work with (if you're already off and running cause it has been a week and a half, don't worry and totally disregard everything written here!).

So my initial requests were:

Really, my only specific requests are in regards to pairings:Katekyo Hitman Reborn! - Dino/Tsuna, Tsuna/Haru or Haru/KyokoThe Listener - Toby/OzReaper - Sam/Sock, Sam/Sock/Ben, or Sam/CadyOtherwise, anything at all you come up with will be wonderous for me!

Which still kinda stand, but if you need a little inspiration, I do have a few prompts you could work in:

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!Dino/Tsuna - I really love placing them between Varia arc and TYL arc, where Tsuna has taken his spot as Vongola X. Take it from there.Tsuna/Haru - Either the same timeline as above, or high school. That would be so cute!Haru/Kyoko - CAKE DAY! This whole ship revolves around cake day for me.

The ListenerToby/Oz - A prompt that works better in fic than in art, but something incorporating Toby's mindreading would be so cool!

ReaperSam/Sock or Sam/Sock/Ben - These guys need more love. Whether you go with just Sam/Sock, or do all three... start with a night of drinking?Sam/Cady - "You're not my sister"
